Id say its a good thing because whats the point in having the best fighters in the world separated by organizations ?... it lessens our chances of seeing the best vs the best, lets get EVERY decent MMA fighter in the one organization & see who the true best in the world is in each weight class rather than resorting to mythical matches like Fedor v Lesnar on internet forums.
Well said, I don't care if it's in the UFC or any other org i just want to see the best fight the best. If Dana's contracts are so bad do you think all these fighters would still be there?? There would be a mass evacuation if they were really that bad. That said if all these other fighters Brock,GSP,BJ,CroCop,Henderson,Rampage,Anderson and many others can fight there but Fedor thinks he's to good to fight there and would rather fight elsewhere well then **** him, I'm getting sick of Finkel(not so much Fedor) that they demand a co- promotion of any show Fedor is in.
Its neutral, there are still mid level shows in the US for these guys to fight in. Strikeforce is probably the best. Take note wannabe MMA organizations, strikeforce is alive because it doesn't try to beat the UFC. Affliction only ever promised 3 shows anyway, it was an advertising campaign, not a business model.
Dream probably couldnt afford Fedor right now. DREAM 12 is being scaled down and going to only be in a 16,000 seat arena in Osaka. And DREAM 11 could be the last event on TBS. If they lose there TV deal then there is no way they will pay what Fedor wants.
